Paxville will come in Dual and Quad arrangements even though Dempsey, INTEL's mainstream dual-core processor, will not be out until 2006. The new Paxville chips will run at 2.8 GHz, 800 MHz FSB and have 2MB of L2 cache.
Source: News.comIntel's Paxville move "is clearly a time-to-market vehicle, a reaction to at least the perception of success that AMD is enjoying with Opteron," said TechKnowledge Strategies analyst Mike Feibus. "I don't think it'll make a dent in Intel's overall sales. It's more for chest-thumping purposes."
